Vistara will on Monday operate its last-ever domestic flight at 10:50 pm and international flight at 11:45 pm from the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport.
The Tata group-owned airline was launched nine years ago in January 2015 as a joint venture between Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines. However, after the Tata Group acquired state-owned Air India last year, it announced unifying all its aviation business under the ‘Air India’ brand.
In August 2024, the government approved the foreign direct investment by Singapore Airlines as part of Vistara’s merger with Air India. After the merger, Singapore Airlines (SA) will have a 25.1 per cent stake in Tata Group-owned Air India. In 2015, Vistara was set up as a JV with SA’s 49 per cent stake.
